Oral Answers to Questions

Baroness McIntosh of Pickering Excerpts

Tuesday 29th June 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Burstow]

I am grateful for that question. Obviously, the devolved Administrations are responsible for health care in their own areas, so we have an opportunity to learn lessons from each other. This Government will examine the evaluation of the scheme that the Welsh Administration are undertaking to see whether it provides any lessons for our system.

[Miss Anne McIntosh (Thirsk and Malton) (Con)]

Will the Minister say whether the money provided by the primary care trust is ring-fenced? Will he ensure that the time-sensitive nature of such conditions, especially wet and dry macular degeneration, will be taken into account across all the English PCTs?
